He certainly was driving carelessly………….. he missed her

 

[m@goo]

The driver didn't injure the cyclist quite clearly. She fell off because the one in front stopped and she lost her balance.

If that was a normal 2 lane road and someone went past on their lane, the 1st one wouldn't stop and squeal and the 2nd wouldn't fall off, bloke should have pleaded not guilty, and before anyone has a pop, yes I do ride a bike.

And she was turning round shouting at the motorist I guess, looks like that bit was cut from the video.

You realise that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, don't you?

 

[Fromthesouth]

Well it does to me

Deserves everything he got. Initially pleaded not guilty but when prosecuted and presented with evidence pleaded guilty.

As the local RPU stated drivers should always give 1.5 m distance and pass slowly. He did neither

Thought this was going to be a thread about the universe.

I'd have parked my Land Rover up, strolled up to the ditch with some purpose, brandished a Yellow Card at her whilst fending off the protestations of her fellow cyclists, then returned to my vehicle and carried on my day...

The video made me laugh. I'm not sure that was the intention

Sorry

[BN9 BHA]

A quick look at the Twitter comments
I say a quick look, you will need all night and several bags of popcorn to read them all.

Just saying how I see it being a yocal and knowing the area

If it's good enough for the old bill to prosecute and win its good enough for me , as I said deserves everything he got !

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'm sorry but all I see there is someone falling off their bike (probably after being bumped by the cyclist behind). The bloke (of course it was a bloke) with the head cam should have stayed behing the person in front, too, and not pulled out.

I am someone who cycles regularly in London (until 2 years ago, 5 days a week).

Edit. Nope, just watched a 4th and 5th time. No idea why she fell over

These bike crash videos are the most tedious thing about NSC. So dull.

Seriously, who gives a f**k who's at fault?

But that's not all that happened is it?

What happened was the driver of a big land rover, coming in the opposite direction, on a single lane road, failed to give due care and attention to other road users.

Now sure the cyclists don't seem the most sure of themselves (all the more reason to pay attention) and had they been 'lycra louts' I'll hazard a guess the passing would have gone unnoticed.

The incident was caused by the actions of the driver.
